Swapping the turbocharger is not as hard as you think. Most swaps should only require basic tools, as long as you don't try to put a holset HE351VE on there.
I would say go with an HE351CW or some type of HX40 with a T3 flange and 3'' exhaust out let (which most HX40 are anyways).
The problem with the HE351CW is that I think it might have a 3.5'' exhaust outlet on the back of the turbocharger.
If you want to use a turbo with a 3.5'' outlet talk to me first because I have the hard to find cummins 3.5'' to 4 inch elbow, a 3.5 down pipe flange, a 3.5'' V-band clamp and a 3.5'' v-band clamp adaptor.
